Yu-gi-oh

No Limits

By Kevin Jones

Turn 11- The Escape

Me and Damon jetted out of our cell and followed the crowd of freed inmates. Someone, somehow, was able to hack into the Public Security Maintenance Bureau and open all the cells.

"Chase what did you mean by "we just found our way out of here"?"

"Simple Damon; all of hells broken lose which is the perfect distraction for us to get out of here."

"But didn't the guards say that we can be tracked through our marks."
"True, but there's no way the person who did this wouldn't of done it if they didn't factor that in."

"Person?"

"That's right; there's no way this was an accident, someone wants somebody out of here, little do they know there helping us out to."

"It's Arcadia I knew they wouldn't abandon me."

"Why on earth would a school that technically doesn't even exist go through all this just to save 1 kid?"

"Because Principal Ivanov said all students are needed for the plan."

"The what?"

"The plan."

"What the hell is the… Kai!"
We both stopped as we approached a smiling Kai.

"Looks like Christmas has come early huh guys!"

"Kai where are they keeping our decks?"

"Some room over on the other side of the building, why?"

"We need to get our decks."

"Hey I'd like my deck and duel runner back to but we can't loiter we've got to get out of here."

"Listen Kai we're the reason for this power outage."

"Wait a minute, you 2?"

"Yup, the people who put us in here, not Sector Security the real people who want us in here, want us because I was getting to close to something dangerous and it revolves around dueling."

He's looking at me straight in the eye, it's a crazy story but it's all I've got.

"You know what I believe you, either way I've got nowhere to go after I get out of here and at least I can get my stuff back."

The 3 of us run as fast as we can, weaving around freedom hungry prisoners and dodging overwhelmed guards.

We reach a large room a few minutes later.

"Man it'll take us hours to find the drawers that have our stuff and we've probably got a few minutes before all the power comes back on and all the exits close."

"Chase, can you hear me Chase!"

It's faint but I know I can hear Debris Dragon's voice.

"Chase I'm over here!"

I run towards the faint voice as it gets louder till I eventually find the drawer it's coming from, the top shelf in the middle of the row, to high for me to reach.

"Chase I found my deck!"

A happy Damon and a confused Kai are standing in front of me.

"Did you 2 forget to tell me you have e.s.p. or something, I mean seriously he just started running and then he found the drawer and than just opened."

"What do you mean it just opened?"

Before anyone could say anything the bottom drawer next to my foot opened.

"Did it open like that?" I ask.

At the same time a wide eyed Damon and Kai nod. Now another drawer opens and then another and another until there are a little more than a dozen drawers open forming a ladder with my open drawer at the top.

"Chase what's going on here?" Asks a spooked Kai.

"Don't know, what I do know is that I just found away to get to my cards."

As I climb I can only wonder what's going on here, either Damon is telepathic, which I doubt or someone is controlling this buildings entire computer network, if that's true than my next question is, is this person helping us or setting us up.

"Chase I'm so glad you found me!"

Not realizing he's still a ghost Debris Dragon tries to hug me but goes right through me instead, I ignore this and carefully bring my wrist dealer out of the drawer.

"Kai, Damon, incoming."

I drop my wrist dealer down, Kai catches it. I drop my deck box that contains my turbo deck, Damon catches that. In one scoop I grab my watch, and dog tags, this empties the drawer. I carefully climb down and rejoin the others. When I get down I put my dealer, watch, and tag on. As I hook the deck box to my pants I pull the deck out and prepare to add a new card to it.

"Wait a minute you stole the Bladedge from the facility deck!" Remarks Damon.

"The guards stole it from another guy's deck anyways."

"But if you're a hero duelist to begin with why don't you already have one?" Asks Kai.

"I did."

"What happened to it?" Asks Damon

"That's my business. Now Kai where's your duel runner?"

"Next room over I think."

"Let's go."

There isn't a single guard in this room, it appears to be about as big as the last one, but this one is full of impounded Duel Runners.

"Here's mine."

Both I and Damon gaze in awe at a dark red Duel Runner covered in painted flames.

"I like to call it Racing Hell."

"It's nice but we can't all fit on it."

Once again when I finish my sentence something weird has happened, the duel runner next to Kai has turned on.

"Hey who's Tony Sorrentino?" Asks Damon.

"Damon where'd you get that name from?"

"You've heard of her Chase?"

"Of course, my question is where'd Damon get the name from."

"It's on this screen."

I look at that black Duel Runner's screen and it indeed says Tony Sorrentino.

"Well Chase who is he?"

"She is a computer hacker and damn good one at that, although all this seems a bit too complicated for someone our age."

"Either way let's get out of here; with 2 Runners we've got enough space to carry the 3 of us so long as you can drive this thing."

"Wait a minute! You 2 aren't seriously considering stealing someone's Duel Runner are you!" Shouts Damon.

"You've got a better plan." Says Kai, this is obviously a statement not a question.

"But what about when the rightful owner comes to get it back."

"He'll be told there was a jail break and his runner was taken I'm sure that will keep him from speeding."

"This isn't a joke Chase!"

"Fine than, stay here, get found by guards and be here alone which a bunch of violent criminals."

It's been about 10 minutes. Damon and Kai will be taking Racing Hell down one road we thought of to the Golden Plate restaurant, if memory serves that's where someone needing a hacker can find Tony, and I'll be taking another road, just in case one of us gets caught.

"You sure about this Chase?"

"No not really but we can't bet it all on this power outage."

Kai looked at me skeptically.

"My friend you got some big hairy cahoneise, if you make it meet us at this Tony girl's house."

"Don't worry I have a bad habit of keeping my ass out of too much trouble."

After hearing Kai takes a deep breath. "I think we're a little too late for that."

"True, you've got the building the building design up?"

"Yup just follow me, and oh yeah make sure nobody see's your face."

"Why."

"Look what it says on the side of your runner."

I look over the side to see the words black power in big red letters. Great I'm in a long nosed black runner with lightning volts painted on the front and Black power written on the back in red, now I'm in trouble.

We successfully find an open entrance, no doubt open do to Toni's handy work, we give each other reassuring nods and go our separate ways, and hopefully we all make it to the same destination.

It's been about 20 minutes and I'm sure Damon and Kai are out of trouble so it's time to put the part of the plan in to action that I didn't tell the others about. Step 1 turn on the communicator and put on a frequency that can only be heard by the "secret" channel used by close sector security agents.

"I know you orchestrated this, and I know your right behind me."

Like I said Toni's good but there's no way a 17 year old girl could have done all this.

"Was I that obvious?"

I turn on the rear view camera of the Runner. Behind me is a standard sector security runner with a skinny white cop on it.

"Mind if I ask why you've done all this?"

"Michael Sadusky, remember him, remember how thanks to you he's dead."

"That wasn't my fault!"

"Yeah right, on that duel runner 20 years and you expect me to believe he'd drive off a building like that, no way!"

"20 years, but I was told he was only on the force a year or 2."

"Don't you dare mess with me! Me, him and Tate have all been friends since the academy, we looked out for each other, and then you show up. They may not be able to connect you to him except for the duel but my gut tells me you're responsible for his death and you're going to pay!"
Tate, that was Sadusky's partner, why does she keep coming up?

"Duel mode initiated."

"What the hell!"

"I admit I gave you a pretty fast runner but it can still be hacked. You may have beat Sadusky's deck but let's see how well you do against the official NYPD Pursuit deck!"
"Listen if I could've of stopped Sadusky from falling I would've."
"Bull shit! You're street trash; only difference now is that you've got a criminal mark to show it!"

There's no stopping this guy.

"Very well than, it's time to duel!"

Cop

"First things first, I summon Gate Blocker (ATK: 100/DEF: 2000) in defense mode, next I'll set one card face down and end my turn!"

Chase

Chase SPC: 0 Cop SPC: 1

"Chase," begins Debris Dragon, "What's with the giant wall with the big red eye?"

"I have no idea; I've never faced the Pursuit deck. Hey why didn't my speed counters go up?"

"I can answer that, you see while Gate Blocker is in play you don't gain any speed counters, I've watched the duel between you and Sadusky practically 1000 times and I've learned the 2 things that allowed you to win; the first is your Synchro Coat Speed Spell, so I'm using my Gate Blocker to stop you from gaining any speed counters, now let's see how you'll do with 1/3 of your deck cut off!"

This may present a problem, maybe this will help.

"I summon Elemental Hero Stratos (ATK: 1800/DEF: 300) in attack mode, now I can use his special ability which allows me to add another Elemental Hero to my hand."

"It's still not strong enough to take down Gate Blocker."

"Will see about that; I set 1 card face down and end my turn."

Cop

Chase SPC: 0 Cop SPC: 2

"I've also done some research on Elemental Hero's and I know the perfect strategy for getting past Stratos. I summon Thunder King Rai-Oh (ATK: 1900/DEF: 800) in attack mode."

"What the hell does that thing do?"

"Well for starters neither of us can add cards from our decks to our hands except by drawing them, another thing it can do is destroy your little hero, now thunder obliteration!"

Stratos is able to avoid the first few volts of lightning but he wasn't able to avoid all of them. (4000-3900)

"Now let's how you plan on defeating 2000 DEF points and 1900 ATK points!"

Chase

Chase SPC: 0 Cop SPC: 3

"Watch and learn! I summon Turbo Synchron (ATK: 100/DEF: 500) in attack mode! Now attack with turbo speed fist on Gate Blocker! (3900-1000) Now I can special summon Elemental Necroshade (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1800) in attack mode, next I activate the trap card Urgent Tuning allowing me to synchro summon (1+5=6) Turbo Warrior (ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000) in attack mode…"

"Exactly as I expected!"

"What!"

The second thing that allowed you to beat Sadusky was your Turbo Warrior and by sending Thunder King to the graveyard I can negate your warriors summon and destroy it!"

This is bad; all I can do is watch as my Turbo Warrior is destroyed.

"I set one card face down and end my turn."

Cop

Chase SPC: 0 Cop SPC: 4

"Looks like it's all over, but don't worry by morning you'll still be alive, barely. I summon Gonogo (ATK: 1300/DEF: 1600) in attack mode, now end him."

Gonogo's heading straight for me, if this attack hits I'm screwed.

"I don't think so! I discard Kuriboh which sets all my battle Damage to 0!"

"So you saved for another turn, big deal."

Chase

Chase SPC: 0 Cop SPC: 5

"Oh I've done more than by myself a turn! I summon Elemental Hero Bladedge (ATK: 2600/DEF: 1800) in attack mode!"

"What! How on earth were you able to summon a level 7?"

"Remember Elemental Hero Necroshade, while he's in the graveyard I can summon a high level hero without tribute! Now Bladedge slice and dice his Gate Blocker and give me some speed counters!"

Bladedge flew up, extended his golden side blade and cut the rock wall as if it were nothing. (4000-3400)

"I know all about Bladedge's piercing effect, but did you know about this."

What the hell! Now there's 2 more Gate Blockers!

"Remember my set card, it's a trap called Broken Blocker. With this trap I can special summon 2 more Gate Blockers to replace my fallen one!"

Damn it there's no getting past these things.

Cop

Chase SPC: 0 Cop SPC: 6

"It's all over boy! I summon the tuner monster Ally of Justice Cycle Reader!" (ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000)

"There are Synchro monsters in the security Deck!"

"That's right, and a very powerful one at that! Now watch and learn! I tune my level 3 Ally of Justice Cycle Reader with my level 3 Gonogo in order to synchro summon Goyo Guardian (ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000) in attack mode."

There is now a large Kabuki Actor in front of me, he has muscles, a strong looking weapon and a lot of ATK points, there is no way this is fair card.

"Now Goyo Guardian Goyo Lariat his Bladedge!" (1000-800)

When the rope caught up to Bladedge it didn't pierce his armor, instead it lassoed itself around him and pulled him over beside him.

"When Goyo Guardian destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard I can special summon it to my side of the field in defense mode."

"That means that next turn even if I summon a monster you can switch Bladedge to attack mode, destroy it and inflict piercing Damage."

"Actually you're not getting another turn I play the Speed Spell-Sonic Buster which allows me to inflict half of Goyo Guardians ATK points as effect damage to what's left of your life points! (800-800) Hey why do you still have life points?"

"Simple I discarded Hanewata from my hand which made all the damage you inflicted 0!"

But that's not all I did.

"Make your final move."

Chase

Chase SPC: 7 Cop SPC: 7

"Hey how did you get as many speed counters as me?"

"It would appear by using the trap Slip Stream I was able to get around your Gate blockers."

"Slip Stream?"

"Slip stream, when you activate a speed spell like your Sonic Buster I can increase my speed counters until there equal to yours and since I didn't do it during the standby phase your Gate Blockers can't do anything about it. But you're right this is my last turn as well of the last turn of this duel! I play the Speed Spell-Angel's Baton, allowing me to draw 2 cards so long as I have 2 or more speed counters and I discard 1 card! I play the Speed Spell-Elemental addition now since I have 7 speed counters I can draw 3 cards one for each hero in my graveyard!"

"You only have 2 heroes in your grave."

"Thanks to Angel's Baton I had to discard Elemental Hero Clayman. Next I play the Speed Spell-Dash Pilfer which allows me to regain control of Bladedge!"

Big deal Dash Pilfer only lasts till the end phase, plus I stopped your ace card so there's not a single thing you can do to beat me now!"

"What on earth made you ever think Turbo Warrior was my ace? I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman, (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400) next I play the Speed Spell-Speed Fusion which allows me to fuse Sparkman with Bladedge in order to summon Elemental Hero Plasma Vice (ATK: 2600/DEF: 2300) in attack mode."

"Sorry but he's 200 points to week."

"That's why I'm not using him to destroy your Goyo Guardian I'm going to activate his effect instead! I discard 1 card from my hand to destroy your Guardian!"

The armored Sparkman fired a volt of energy at his advisory, destroying it and doing a little more as well.

"Now since the card I discarded was Effect destruction you take damage equal to Goyo Guardian's ATK points! (3400-600) Plasma Vice Plasma fist on Gate Blocker! And in case you didn't know, like with Bladedge when Plasma Vice destroys a defense position monster you take damage equal to the difference between my hero's ATK points and your paper weight's DEF points!"(600-0)

Winner: Chase Loser: Cop

As the wall crumbled and then faded I watched as this cops runner stopped.

"Let's get something straight here. I didn't kill Detective Sadusky. Something very strange is going on around here and I promise you I'm going to figure it out and I swear will avenge the death of your friend."

Now that I've said what I have to say I turn off the communicator and speed up, I mean it I will figure this out.

A woman sat in her chair watching the night sky with a glass of red wine.

"Excuse me Mistress may I enter?"

"Very well."

"I have some news involving the preparations for the plan."

"Go on than I'm listening."

The woman has yet to turn her chair around to see the man.

"Yes well, it appears that the power outage in New York City was successful."

"What about our friend Mr. Rhodes?"

"Well he has yet to be accounted for by the guards; however we have confirmed that only moments ago he beat Sector Security agent Clark O'Hara in a Turbo Duel; however we now have no idea where he's going."

"I knew O'Hara would make a good enough pawn, and don't worry about Mr. Rhodes he doesn't know it but right now he's playing right into my hand.

Next Time: Janus has infiltrated Sector Security

"This doesn't make any sense," Started Vanessa, "These pictures are almost 60 years apart but the woman in it looks exactly the same."

"I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for all this." Says Kai.

"Your half right Mr. Rodriguez."

We all jumped and started looking in all directions only to find the voice having no visible owner.

"and as for you Ms. Aaronson I'll have you aware that my boss has been 40 for a very long time."
